Although  the  School  of  Commerce 
does  not  promise  to  secure  positions 
for  its  graduates,  it  makes  a systematic 
effort  to  find  positions  for  students 
who  have  made  a good  record  in  the 
School.  It  has  proved  of  large  value 
in  aiding  students  to  make  satisfactory 
connection  with  business  firms  upon 
the  completion  of  their  study. 


The  Bureau  will  also  co-operate 
with  day  students  in  getting  the  re- 
quired experience  in  business  to  qual- 
ify for  the  degree  Bachelor  of  Science 
in  Commerce.
